The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor opened her eyes, filled with humiliation.

"Oho, still not resigned to your fate, are you?" Senior Sister Red Butterfly sat on the sofa, her beautiful legs in black stockings crossed, her greased hair and little leather shoe pointing at the Royal Advisor's chin, her face full of mockery.

"You insolent wretch, remove your..." The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor started to say, but her plump red lips suddenly trembled, and her body became extremely stiff.

[Nightmare Eye · Gu Ya: My veil is gone... My veil is gone... My veil is gone... Only my husband and family can see my full face]

The greased leather shoe reflected her image, which was precisely why the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor froze.

Xu Lang was greatly astonished.

Could it be that the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor was that kind of classic martial arts trope, where if a man sees the face beneath her veil, she can only either kill the man or marry him.

And then, because she can't defeat the man, she can only marry him, so even on her wedding night, she would grit her teeth and shout "you vile scoundrel" while enduring his... attacks.

It sounds so humiliating!

But also very exciting!

Xu Lang was skeptical at first, but after repeatedly probing with the Nightmare Eye, he discovered the truth was even more extreme than he imagined.

— Her appearance can only be seen by her husband, otherwise she must commit suicide; not doing so would be an insult to her future husband!

"Hiss~ The person who established this rule is the equal of ten Confuciuses!"

"Ten Confuciuses, ten times the sage!"

"Too awesome!"

Xu Lang was a youth of the new era and naturally didn't like this kind of system, but he could understand it.

Rakshasa Country, just hearing the name, sounded like an ancient dynasty, and most likely one with strict rites and a strong religious atmosphere.

You couldn't treat the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor as someone from modern society, polluted by various abstract subcultures, but rather as a woman as feudal as could be, deeply poisoned by feudal ideology.

"Xu Lang, you should press down the corner of your mouth a bit." Cao Yaxuan looked at Xu Lang and complained.

She felt Xu Lang was somewhat happy, probably related to the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor's stunningly beautiful appearance, but Xu Lang had just beaten her up.

Wasn't this change of expression a bit too fast?

Hard to understand, so hard to understand!

"Really?" Xu Lang picked up a teacup to hide his smile. "You should play games with a smile. Right now, we've captured a key soul figure from the opposing camp. We have a huge advantage."

What is an advantage?!

Nightmare Coins are an advantage!

Conversion rate is an advantage!

[Name: Gu Ya]

[Charm: 330 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 330%)]

The moment he saw Gu Ya's Charm points, Xu Lang really didn't want to pretend anymore.

If he were an extreme egoist, he could have kicked one of Cao Yaxuan and the others out by now to make Gu Ya a tenant.

But Xu Lang didn't do that. Once that step was taken, the mutual trust between everyone would completely disintegrate, heading straight for collapse.

Secondly, there was another point: Gu Ya clearly wasn't subdued by him yet, and her suicidal thoughts were even stronger.

Yes, Gu Ya was already preparing to commit suicide.

[Nightmare Eye · Gu Ya: My body is polluted by abnormal energy, I can't use my arts... right, I still have my Chastity Blade...]

Gu Ya didn't want to wait another moment. She pulled out a gleaming blood-red Chastity Blade from under her robe sleeve!

Wang Yazhi narrowed her eyes, her long sword instantly unsheathed, slashing towards Gu Ya's wrist!

The sword was faster. It could sever her wrist before the Royal Advisor could complete her action.

But faster than the sword was a leg.

Xu Lang kicked the dagger away and, in a few quick moves, tied Gu Ya up. The process inevitably involved a fair amount of... lingering contact.

"Mmmph, ah... Lord, I am utterly defiled!" Gu Ya let out a low moan more agonizing than being struck by the Blood Pelican Demon Blade, a crimson flush spreading from her head to her ankles.

"Enough nonsense, quickly tell us the reason why you keep spawning troops!" Cao Yaxuan shouted sternly.

Gu Ya didn't reply, just kept muttering something incessantly, seemingly already in a daze.

"Xu Lang, she seems a bit... like a mental case. Is this a Sequence going out of control?" Cao Yaxuan looked at Xu Lang, utterly confused.

What do you mean 'seems a bit like'?

Xu Lang said helplessly, "Probably can't handle the shock. After all, she's the Royal Advisor of Rakshasa Country. Now that we've captured her, she's about to leak national intelligence."

"That's true." Cao Yaxuan nodded. "But how exactly are you going to interrogate her?"

Xu Lang hoisted the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor onto his shoulder and walked towards the Nightmare Bed. "Just listen for the intel later."

"Xu Lang, you..." Zhen Lu reached out a hand, stunned speechless.

The expressions of the others also became incredibly vivid.

So your method of extracting information is through 'investigation'?

Is that reasonable?

...

Of course it wasn't reasonable. Xu Lang wasn't some 'eroge saint body' and didn't believe he had that capability.

After tossing Gu Ya onto the Nightmare Bed, he began questioning her for information.

Regardless of whether Gu Ya answered or not, the intelligence was already being leaked.

One piece of intel was particularly crucial.

— The Sand Soldiers were not spawned by the dorm's power. Some were soldiers buried alongside the Rakshasa Country, while another part were created by the Great Sage 'Xidi' and his subordinate sorcerers, requiring arts to maintain.

In short, there was a limit to the number of soldiers.

Xu Lang was a bit disappointed. Actually, he had always wanted to beat the Rakshasa Country into submission, forcing them to commit all their forces on the final day.

By then, with enough Nightmare Coins, he could upgrade the Void Splitter to level twenty in one go, and upgrade the main door to level twenty as well.

It was a guaranteed win!

But there was also good news: all the Rakshasa Country generals had their own elite ace troops. Aside from Saladin's soldiers and Azeman's Cyan Lion Guard, the ace troops of the others were being held in reserve, seemingly truly intended for use in the final decisive battle.

"Player, have the guts to kill me. Stop asking these questions. I will not answer!" Gu Ya's expression was cold and severe, her heart a wasteland of despair.

"Isn't living better?" Xu Lang suddenly asked.

Gu Ya didn't answer, but Xu Lang continued.

"As long as you live, there is hope. Your lifelong wish, your ideals, your loves and hatreds all have the possibility to continue and be realized."

"As the Royal Advisor, you must shoulder the responsibility... otherwise, how can you face the ancestors of Rakshasa Country..."

"Gu Ya, you wouldn't want the culture and civilization of Rakshasa Country to be completely buried, would you?"

Under the Nightmare Eye, Gu Ya's desires had nowhere to hide. That faint sliver of hope for survival in her heart was also teased out by Xu Lang.

With the Nightmare Eye, Xu Lang was the ultimate negotiation master.

Moreover, when it came to eloquence and understanding human nature, Xu Lang truly wasn't lacking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to 'conquer' Cao Yaxuan in an hour.

...

"What do you think Lang Ge and the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor are doing in there?" Xu Xiaomeng stared at the Nightmare Bed, biting her small lips lightly.

When the Nightmare Bed's curtain was drawn, the sounds from inside couldn't be heard outside, only those inside could hear outside.

"Is that even a question?" Cao Yaxuan curled her lip.

A blush rose on Xu Xiaomeng's cheeks. "I feel Lang Ge wouldn't do that."

Hearing this, Cao Yaxuan's mouth twitched, almost blurting out what happened when she first came to Dorm 200.

Your Lang Ge is a super big pervert!

She had always publicly claimed that she and Xu Lang were in love freely, that they had liked each other even before the Dorm Survival Game descended.

Hmph!

Whether others believed it or not, that's what she said.

Goddess Yaxuan still cared a lot about face.

"How long do you think it will take?" Xu Ruyan licked her lips, her plump leather-panted legs crossing and shifting, seeming somewhat restless.

"At least an hour." Zhen Lu guessed.

Men's enthusiasm for new things was always strongest.

"Pfft~ Half an hour at most." Cao Yaxuan chilled her cola until it was frosty, tilted her head back for a big gulp, leaned against the sofa, exhaling with a "Haah," and said, "You guys don't know, Xu Lang used to be very fast."

Zhen Lu knew Cao Yaxuan was about to show off and quickly pressed for details.

Soon, Xu Lang's glorious past deeds were spread around.

"Don't believe me? Ask Tong Qi!" Cao Yaxuan winked at Tong Qi.

"Mhm." Tong Qi nodded, her face red.

The girls burst into laughter. The living room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, harmonious and relaxed.
